Default What to use on leather now that Connolly is gone?

Had some Connolly Hide Food but it's pretty old and has all seperated, etc.

My '02 X-Type Sport has the Connolly leather interior so it's non-coated. What's going to be the best option once the Hide Food is no longer around. I'm leaning towards Leatherique but need to get it quick while I still have warm days to use it.

Many good cleaner/conditioner products out there: Lexol, Leatherique, Zaino, Adam's, Tropi-Care... just to name a few.
My personal favorite right now would be Adam's Leather Conditioner.
I have heard nothing but good about the Leatherique line, but have no personal experience to relate.

It all depends on the condition of your leather,if your leather is dryed out use Leatherique,if your leather is just in need of cleaning and a little feeding,I prefer Gliptone's Liquid Leather Products or Griot's Leather Care Products.I have used l Lexol and others but I always go back to Gliptone or Griots.

Humor. Nobody said it was good, it's just humor.

Connolly Hide food is still around, just being made by a company that bought it out. If yours has separated, warm it in a microwave until it is very soft and stir it up. It should be warmed when you use it anyway as it has paraffin in it. It should be applied very warm to the leather and the car should be in the sun for a few hours for it to work properly. I have found Leatherique's rejuvenator to be the best for leather.
